Some people are going to be ready to shoot me. I have spent the last 5-6 years drilling the five purposes into the heads of people at our church: Worship - Fellowship - Discipleship - Ministry - Evangelism. However, recently I've started to wonder whether a change would be wise: would the purpose of "fellowship" be better expressed as "community?" While I'm at it, would "service" be better than "ministry?" So, this may be my new language:
Worship
Community
Discipleship
Service
Evangelism
The Germans say, "Worte sind Schall und Rauch" (or something like that). "Words are like echoes and smoke." I suppose that's supposed to mean that the exact word used is less important than what it stands for.
Thoughts?
